SUGGESTED COOKING TIMES - TIPSUSAGE
USAGE
1. Assemble all of the pieces of the grill, as shown below.
ASSEMBLY:
COOKING:
• For best results, always preheat the grill for approximately
5 minutes to make sure the grill is hot. This will help to
seal in all of the natural juices.
• If using wooden or bamboo skewers when cooking kebobs,
it is highly recommended to soak the skewers in water
for 10 minutes. This will prevent the skewers from scorching
or burning during the grilling process.
TIPS:
CAUTION: Use caution when cooking. Hot oil, grease or juices may splatter when grilling. Do not touch any hot
surfaces. Do not attempt to cut food on the grill during the cooking process.
NOTE: The first time you use your grill, it may emit a slight odor and you may see some smoke coming off the
grilling plate. This is NORMAL. The odor and smoke will go away after a few minutes.
1. Make sure the appliance is clean, dry and fully assembled.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the desired temperature (WARM / LOW / MED / HIGH). When setting the temperature,
the LED indicator will light up indicating that the power is ON. When the desired temperature setting has been reached, the
light will shut off. Please note, when the light shuts off, this does not mean the grill is OFF.
3. To help reduce smoke, put small amount of water to cover the low surface of the drip tray (½ cup and not more).
4. Let the grill preheat for approximately 5 minutes.
5. Place desired food onto the grill plate to cook. If cooking small items, place on metal or wooden skewers to avoid food
falling through the openings of the grill. To prevent the wooden skewers from burning, soak them in water for about
10 minutes beforehand.
6. When you have finished cooking, turn the control knob to OFF position. Unplug from the wall outlet and
let the unit cool completely before taking parts off for cleaning.
3. Plug the cord into a wall outlet and set to desired temperature.
MAKE SURE TO INSERT TEMPERATURE CONTROL PLUG
ALL THE WAY IN, OR THE GRILL WILL NOT TURN ON.

TROUBLESHOOTING CLEANING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
SMOKE DURING GRILLING
FOOD KEEPS FALLING THROUGH
THE SPACES BETWEEN THE
GRILL BARS.
To help reduce smoke, put small amount of water to cover the low
surface of the drip tray (½ cup and not more).
Grilling fatty foods:
When grilling fatty meats or any other
food with fatty ingredients, you will
notice some smoke emitting from
the food. Some splashing may occur.
Once it hits the heating element, it
will burn, therefore producing smoke.
SOLUTION 1: FILL DRIP TRAY WITH WATER
To prevent food from falling into the drip tray during cooking, do not place
small pieces of food on the surface of the grill. If pieces fall through, turn
off the grill and let it cool off.
CAUTION: Grill plate and drip tray will be hot.
Let cool off before cleaning.
Lift the grill plate and remove the food pieces.
SOLUTION 1: CUT INGREDIENTS IN LARGER PIECES
To help get rid of smoke, place the grill near a ventilation hood.
SOLUTION 2: VENTILATE
When you are grilling multiple batches, or cooking with excess oil, some
of the food may remain on the surface of the grill or fall inside the drip tray.
Make sure to wipe the surface of the grill and clean the drip tray often.
CAUTION: Grill plate and drip tray will be hot. Let cool off before cleaning.
SOLUTION 3: CLEAN DRIP TRAY
If you use marinades for your meats and vegetables prior to grilling, reduce
the amount of oil you use to avoid burning and smoke. The grill surface is
non-stick and does not require a lot of oil.
SOLUTION 4: MODIFY FOOD PREP
CLEANING
CAUTION: Always unplug from electrical outlet and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. This may cause electrical
shortage and bodily harm. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or steel wool to clean the surface!
It may damage the coating.
1. Turn the Control Knob to OFF position. Make sure the power cord
is unplugged. Let the unit cool completely.
2. Remove the Temperature Control Plug from the unit. DO NOT WASH THE
PLUG OR PLACE IN DISHWASHER. Wipe clean with cloth, if needed.
3. Use paper towels to wipe off any excess grease or residue left on the
grill or griddle plates. You may use wooden or plastic spatula to scrape
off any
remaining food residue. Lift and remove the grill or griddle plates
from the black base.
Wipe the surface clean under warm running water
with soft cloth. You may also place it in the dishwasher.
4. Lift up and empty the drip tray. Wipe the extra grease with paper towels.
Wash the drip tray in warm, soapy water. You may also place it in the
dishwasher.
5. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the black base. If needed, wash
the black base in warm, soapy water. You may also place it in the
dishwasher.
6. Make sure the grill or griddle plates and drip tray are completely dry before next use.
Do not plug the power cord into the wall outlet if the grill is still wet.
User Maintenance: any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
